Oh Lord, oh Lord

What have I done?

I've fallen in love with a man on the run

Oh Lord, oh Lord, I'm beggin you please

Don't take that sinner from me

Oh, don't take that sinner from me

Oh Lord, oh Lord

What do I do?

I've fallen for someone who's nothing like you

He's raised on the edge of the Devil's backbone

I just want to take him home

Oh I just want to take him home

Oh Lord, oh Lord

He's somewhere between

A hangman's knot and three mouths to feed

There wasn't a wrong or a right he could choose

He did what hе had to do

Oh, he did what he had to do

Give mе the burden

Give me the blame

I'll shoulder the load and I'll swallow the shame

Give me the burden

Give me the blame

How many, how many Hail Mary's is this gonna take?

Don't care if he's guilty

Don't care if he's not

He's good, and he's bad, and he's all that I've got

Oh Lord, oh Lord, I'm beggin you please

Don't take that sinner from me

Oh, don't take that sinner from me
